Karen Casey, Daily Meditations for Practicing the Course:
“Healing occurs when pain has lost its value.”
“It’s common to resist the idea that “those who want to be healed, will be.” As hospitals really full of people who have chosen to be sick? The Course says yes.
Accepting responsibility for some experiences is tolerable. For instance, why would we deny that our balance is impaired if we consume too much alcohol, or that running a red light can trigger an accident? However, admitting we’re responsible for every aspect of our lives, each joy and every sorrow, is unbearable at first. Fortunately, we don’t have to accept and understand overnight how our material world unfolds. Absorbing the news that we do reap what we have sown comes in stages.
But how does this explain healing, or the lack thereof? Monitoring our thoughts about the significant issues as well as the picayune ones enlightens us about our health. If we let the ego determine how we react, we can be certain it will try in some fashion to control the actions, and emotions of others. Our “weakened” condition is a tool the ego has valued too often. Laying it aside, for good, will change our health forever.”
“If my mind is at peace, I will be well today.”
Marianne Williamson, A Year of Daily Wisdom: “Where two or more are gathered in God, His light within us accelerates and intensifies. Nothing is more powerful than an agreement between two people. The more a thought is shared, the stronger it becomes.”
Hugh Prather, Morning Notes: “Love sees without interpretation. Most of the time I don’t truly see other people. I see them in relationship to me. I first look at myself, then at the other person. Real loves removes comparisons from the process and sees others directly. It doesn’t filter what another person does through the ego’s perennial question, “How do I feel about that?” It bypasses the distorting lens of my temporary needs and ever-shifting self-image and sees other individuals from within them.”
Caroline Myss: ‘Mystical service means modeling calm in chaos, kindness amid anger, forgiveness at all times, personal integrity – to live, in other words, mindful that every second offers a choice either to channel grace or to withhold it.’
Eckhart Tolle: “Complaining is not to be confused with informing someone of a mistake or deficiency so that it can be put right. And to refrain from complaining doesn’t necessarily mean putting up with bad quality or behavior.
Unity’s Daily Word:
“Responding to life from Spirit within,
I am grounded, wise, and at peace.”
“I have wisdom and freedom to choose how I respond to all circumstances and events in life. Releasing any need to react with negative emotion to people or situations, I respond instead from an understanding and awareness of Spirit within. The gentle, all-knowing Presence of God is my powerful, yet gentle guide.”
“I immerse myself in contemplative, guiding times of meditation and prayer. The more I do, the more naturally I find myself responding with wisdom and love to what ever is happening to me or around me.”
“Mine is a sacred response from Spirit within. With daily, soulful reflection, I remain grounded, wise, and at peace. I find my way past any obstacles to my good. My life is enriched and I enrich the lives of others.”
A Course in Miracles: Lesson 157
“Into His Presence would I enter now.”
What a beautiful expression for being in the now – the present moment. His Presence is within the silence within me. His Presence is forever part of and the whole of me. I have only to go there and experience the Presence of God. I have only to still my mind – to silence the noise – and I am there and that is the now.
Namaste - Ron
